Timothy Poole, of Mount Dora, Florida plead guilty to attempted sexual battery of a nine year-old in 1999, and ultimately spent three years in prison. Now, fifteen years later, he won three million dollars in a lottery scratch-off game, causing some to cry foul. So far, Florida law allows sex offenders to play lottery games, but there's white-hot intensity online against such a position.

Could the Florida Legislature and Governor Rick Scott, be persuaded to pass a ban on sex offenders in the lottery?

People really can't take it when their internalized just world hypothesizes fall apart in front of them.

No, but that's part of being human.

Why, it's positively shocking that good luck not a direct predictor of good character. Did you think that the lottery was a reward for something?

It's people like this man who buy most lottery tickets. You don't play the lottery, except as a joke, unless you're too ignorant to know better, so utterly sapped of hope that you no longer give a crap, or a gambling addict.

I didn't, but judging from the reactions I saw online, there are a lot of people who do.
